Backtracking to Lake Creek

Day 60, Sunday, 8/16: Out of camp late as usual. This section is very beautiful but remote. We noticed that quite a few of the RV parks/lodges (there aren’t many) are closed for the season already!! The Border… Confusing… The only thing they asked was where we were from and if we had firearms. We said yes to the firearm and Bob went into the office to register and pay the $25 (again). It is only good for 60 days and it has been almost that. Never asked what was in the trailer, what did we bring, etc. Noticed a pile of firewood nearby that they had evidently confiscated… Apparently you cannot bring firewood in from Alaska… Again, they never asked us about our firewood, or booze stash. Once across the border it was miles and miles of frost heaves and 30 mph. Not the best road!

Stayed at Lake Creek YT camp. Quiet and right next to a fast flowing creek. It was among the best. Of course, as soon as we got there Bob spotted an Arctic Fox RV and had to go visit. They were from Utah, an ‘older’ couple J who bought if from Thunder RV in La Grande. We had a great campfire and listened to a John Grisham audio book.
